Is the app Widgetsmith a safe and legitimate app for my iPhone 12 Pro? If not please direct me to unsubscribe/removal instructions. It just appeared in the update app section and wants to charge me for the update.

Yes that looks like plain spam now you have screenshot it.

Any app you install can offer other products, particularly free ones. That is a reason to get rid, or pay to “remove ads”

One more thing.

Check your Calendar app. Tap on Calendars, Any rogue calendar?


Only place that reliably tells you of breached passwords is Keychain in Settings, Passwords. It’s the only password manager you need.

I mean, I know nothing about this app..

but it appears to be an app that you have several saved passwords stored in (100 or so passwords). Is that accurate?

They are telling you that at least one has been associated with a data breach

They are offering a service to notify you.

Assuming that this is an app you downloaded from the App Store and your device is not jailbroken.. and your screenshots are from within the app itself. I don't see any reason to be concerned. If you want to use their service, then subscribe to it. iF you don't want to, then tap the x and don't subscribe to it
